One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.

Zero parts fun.

Three fucking hours long.

Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

    Critical support for Oppenheimer being, apparently, among the least Nolan-y of the Nolan lineup when it comes to Great Man Theory, cryptofascist sermons/speeches, and BWAAAAAAAMs (it's a movie about nuclear weapons so I must give some allowance there for audio gimmicks).

    That said, the toxic fandom around the damn thing (like pretty much anything Nolan) certainly put me off and made it unlikely I will watch it anyway.
